Open MCT (Open Mission Control Technologies) is a next-generation mission control framework for visualization of data on desktop and mobile devices. It is developed at NASA's Ames Research Center, and is being used by NASA for data analysis of spacecraft missions, as well as planning and operation of experimental rover systems. As a generalizable and open source framework, Open MCT could be used as the basis for building applications for planning, operation, and analysis of any systems producing telemetry data.
Please visit our [Official Site](https://nasa.github.io/openmct/) and [Getting Started Guide](https://nasa.github.io/openmct/getting-started/)
Once you've created something amazing with Open MCT, showcase your work in our GitHub Discussions [Show and Tell](https://github.com/nasa/openmct/discussions/categories/show-and-tell) section. We love seeing unique and wonderful implementations of Open MCT!

## Building and Running Open MCT Locally
Building and running Open MCT in your local dev environment is very easy. Be sure you have [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads) and [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) installed, then follow the directions below. Need additional information? Check out the [Getting Started](https://nasa.github.io/openmct/getting-started/) page on our website.
(These instructions assume you are installing as a non-root user; developers have [reported issues](https://github.com/nasa/openmct/issues/1151) running these steps with root privileges.)
1. Clone the source code
`git clone https://github.com/nasa/openmct.git`
2. Install development dependencies
`npm install`
3. Run a local development server
`npm start`
Open MCT is now running, and can be accessed by pointing a web browser at [http://localhost:8080/](http://localhost:8080/)
## Open MCT v1.0.0
This represents a major overhaul of Open MCT with significant changes under the hood. We aim to maintain backward compatibility but if you do find compatibility issues, please let us know by filing an issue in this repository. If you are having major issues with v1.0.0 please check-out the v0.14.0 tag until we can resolve them for you.
If you are migrating an application built with Open MCT as a dependency to v1.0.0 from an earlier version, please refer to [our migration guide](https://nasa.github.io/openmct/documentation/migration-guide).
## Documentation
Documentation is available on the [Open MCT website](https://nasa.github.io/openmct/documentation/).
### Examples
The clearest examples for developing Open MCT plugins are in the
[tutorials](https://github.com/nasa/openmct-tutorial) provided in
our documentation.
We want Open MCT to be as easy to use, install, run, and develop for as
possible, and your feedback will help us get there! Feedback can be provided via [GitHub issues](https://github.com/nasa/openmct/issues/new/choose), [Starting a GitHub Discussion](https://github.com/nasa/openmct/discussions), or by emailing us at [arc-dl-openmct@mail.nasa.gov](mailto:arc-dl-openmct@mail.nasa.gov).
## Building Applications With Open MCT
Open MCT is built using [`npm`](http://npmjs.com/) and [`webpack`](https://webpack.js.org/).
See our documentation for a guide on [building Applications with Open MCT](https://github.com/nasa/openmct/blob/master/API.md#starting-an-open-mct-application).
## Plugins
Open MCT can be extended via plugins that make calls to the Open MCT API. A plugin is a group
of software components (including source code and resources such as images and HTML templates)
that is intended to be added or removed as a single unit.
As well as providing an extension mechanism, most of the core Open MCT codebase is also
written as plugins.
For information on writing plugins, please see [our API documentation](https://github.com/nasa/openmct/blob/master/API.md#plugins).
## Tests
Tests are written for [Jasmine 3](https://jasmine.github.io/api/3.1/global)
and run by [Karma](http://karma-runner.github.io). To run:
`npm test`
The test suite is configured to load any scripts ending with `Spec.js` found
in the `src` hierarchy. Full configuration details are found in
`karma.conf.js`. By convention, unit test scripts should be located
alongside the units that they test; for example, `src/foo/Bar.js` would be
tested by `src/foo/BarSpec.js`. (For legacy reasons, some existing tests may
be located in separate `test` folders near the units they test, but the
naming convention is otherwise the same.)
### Test Reporting
When `npm test` is run, test results will be written as HTML to
`dist/reports/tests/`. Code coverage information is written to `dist/reports/coverage`.
Code Coverage Reports are available from [codecov.io](https://app.codecov.io/gh/nasa/openmct/)
# Glossary
Certain terms are used throughout Open MCT with consistent meanings
or conventions. Any deviations from the below are issues and should be
addressed (either by updating this glossary or changing code to reflect
correct usage.) Other developer documentation, particularly in-line
documentation, may presume an understanding of these terms.
* _plugin_: A plugin is a removable, reusable grouping of software elements.
The application is composed of plugins.
* _composition_: In the context of a domain object, this refers to the set of
other domain objects that compose or are contained by that object. A domain
object's composition is the set of domain objects that should appear
immediately beneath it in a tree hierarchy. A domain object's composition is
described in its model as an array of id's; its composition capability
provides a means to retrieve the actual domain object instances associated
with these identifiers asynchronously.
* _description_: When used as an object property, this refers to the human-readable
description of a thing; usually a single sentence or short paragraph.
(Most often used in the context of extensions, domain
object models, or other similar application-specific objects.)
* _domain object_: A meaningful object to the user; a distinct thing in
the work support by Open MCT. Anything that appears in the left-hand
tree is a domain object.
* _identifier_: A tuple consisting of a namespace and a key, which together uniquely
identifies a domain object.
* _model_: The persistent state associated with a domain object. A domain
object's model is a JavaScript object which can be converted to JSON
without losing information (that is, it contains no methods.)
* _name_: When used as an object property, this refers to the human-readable
name for a thing. (Most often used in the context of extensions, domain
object models, or other similar application-specific objects.)
* _navigation_: Refers to the current state of the application with respect
to the user's expressed interest in a specific domain object; e.g. when
a user clicks on a domain object in the tree, they are _navigating_ to
it, and it is thereafter considered the _navigated_ object (until the
user makes another such choice.)
* _namespace_: A name used to identify a persistence store. A running open MCT
application could potentially use multiple persistence stores, with the
